EUCLID, Ohio -- PetFix Northeast Ohio has operated a mobile clinic, traveling to Cuyahoga, Lake, Summit, Geauga, Portage and Ashtabula counties to neuter stray cats and dogs and the pets of low-income owners, but now it plans to open a bricks-and-mortar clinic in Euclid.

"While we are very proud of the 24,000 surgeries our mobile clinic has performed, we have to face the fact that we are operating at capacity -- just over 5,000 surgeries a year," founder Timy Sullivan said in an email to supporters. "Clearly, if we really want to end pet overpopulation, with all its tragic outcomes, it's time to go big."

A clinic, near Cleveland's East Side and eastern suburbs, will triple PetFix's capacity for providing low-cost sterilization, she said, while the mobile clinic will continue to provide low-cost surgeries in the rural and semi-rural communities east of Cuyahoga County.

PetFix and supporters have reached the halfway point in their We Can Fix It campaign to raise $500,000 to open the new clinic and keep the mobile clinic on the road. Call 216-536-0930.
